The queen thought that it was her relentless pressure that had irritated Rong Zhou and made him unhappy.

In fact, her attitude was not the main reason why Rong Zhou was angry.

To be precise, Rong Zhou was not angry with the Queen, he was angry with himself.

Rong Zhou is eight feet tall, with a sturdy build, a heroic appearance, and a majestic aura.

He is good at leading troops in battle and also has talent in governing the country.

He always considered himself a man among men, a hero among heroes.

Unfortunately, his offspring died out.

This is so unmanly.

For more than ten years, the concubines in the harem have not been able to conceive children. If this is not his problem, is it the problem of the dozen or so of them?

Rong Zhou still has self-awareness.

He had consulted a royal physician, but unfortunately nothing could be diagnosed.

More than one imperial physician said that he was healthy, strong, full of energy and blood, and had no health problems at all.

Moreover, his thing stood proudly and majestically every morning, and every time it was strong and lasting, with great vigor, never letting him feel overwhelmed. How could it be that he always failed to achieve any result?

What exactly is the problem?

Rong Zhou really couldn't understand it. He could only completely erase the word "offspring" from his mind in the pain of repeated huge disappointments and self-doubt.

Only by forgetting about "offspring" can he stop suffering. Only by completely abandoning the idea of ​​"offspring" can he stop doubting his body and become the emperor who looks down on his peers and is invincible again.

Today, the Queen brought up the matter of "offspring" again, and the thought that he had tried so hard to forget came back to his mind.

Rong Zhou suddenly felt annoyed and threw the red pen away.

Lean back in the chair, raise your head, hug your elbows, and close your eyes to rest.

After a while, the eunuch came in. His footsteps were very light, but Rong Zhou still noticed him.

"What are you doing here?" Rong Zhou asked, his voice filled with anger. He still had his eyes closed, resting without moving.

The eunuch in front of the emperor hesitated for a moment and asked timidly, "Your Majesty, would you like to summon the concubines to sleep with you today?"

This is his daily routine, and he never fails to do it.

Even if the emperor was angry, he had to come in and ask a question, otherwise he would be derelict in his duty.

So, today, even though he knew that the emperor was angry, he still went in anyway.

After saying this, the eunuch in front of the emperor quickly lowered his head. He was also afraid and felt that he might be scolded today.

Sure enough, Rong Zhou's face darkened after hearing what he said, "You tactless thing, get out!"

"I obey your command!" The eunuch in front of the emperor bowed quickly and was about to step back and leave when he heard the emperor's deep voice again.

"Wait, ask Concubine Su to sleep with you."

"Yes, I will go and fetch Madam Su right away."

After receiving the order, the eunuch in front of the emperor hurried out to prepare.

As night fell, Su Wanti had finished her bath and lay on the dragon bed in the Zichen Palace.

Just like every time he slept with her husband before, she stayed in bed until she felt sleepy before Rong Zhou came back.

Every time this happened, Su Wanti thought that she had to be promoted to the position of concubine as soon as possible. With a position higher than that, she could sleep with the emperor in her own palace. Unlike now, she was always sent to the Zichen Palace, bathed, and then put on the dragon bed... She felt like a gift, which was not a very pleasant feeling.

Rong Zhou was very silent tonight, but he was more intense and passionate than usual.

During the lovemaking, Su Wanti felt like a small boat that was tossed high up by the wind and waves and then lost its gravity and fell down, floating in the turbulent deep sea. She couldn't help but shout for help.

Her cry for help fell into Rong Zhou's ears, which was a reward for his ability. He worked even harder, and the wind and waves on the sea surged all night long.

In the dim morning light, Su Wanti fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't know what had happened to Rong Zhou last night or what had stimulated him. She only knew that it was time to take the fertility fruit this time.

Before falling asleep, she secretly took the fertility fruit in the space.

Then, close your eyes and fall asleep, waiting for good news.

Before Rongzhou went to court, he instructed the imperial maid to report to the empress that Concubine Su was too tired after attending the emperor's bed last night and would not be paying her respects today.

After hearing this, the queen laughed.

Fortunately, fortunately, the emperor listened to her words and asked Concubine Su to sleep with him that night.

The queen thought that although the emperor was angry, he still listened to her advice and summoned Concubine Su to sleep with him to see if it would be as the abbot said.

She didn't know that Rong Zhou had actually given up on having an offspring and his attitude had not changed.

He summoned Su Wanti to sleep with him because he liked her, so he especially wanted to see her when he was in a bad mood.

Second, when the issue of offspring was mentioned, he began to question his own ability. He needed to prove that he was still a man among men and that he was not incompetent.

After that, Rong Zhou continued to summon his concubines to sleep with him two or three times a month, and Su Wanti was there at least twice.

Su Wanti counted the days.

The pregnancy must be at least one and a half months long before the imperial physician can diagnose it.

She counted the days and waited patiently.

Autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye, the sky is clear and the breeze is cool.

The osmanthus flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, golden and brilliant, with a rich fragrance.

The queen loved osmanthus, so she invited the concubines in the harem to go to the imperial garden to appreciate the newly blooming osmanthus flowers and taste osmanthus wine.

The newly brewed osmanthus wine is golden in color and sweet in taste. It has only a slight smell of alcohol but a strong aroma of osmanthus.

After drinking it, all the concubines praised it highly.

But Su Wanti couldn't drink this wine.

She knew that at this moment a little life was growing in her belly, and she absolutely could not drink alcohol.

But if you don't drink the wine given by the Queen, it would be disrespectful to her.

Su Wanti frowned slightly, thinking about the time. She had been taking the fertility fruit for nearly two months, so she might as well take this opportunity to reveal the fact that she was pregnant.

Su Wanti made up her mind. She first raised the wine glass, brought it to her lips, and was about to drink it.

Suddenly, she leaned forward violently and vomited. She could no longer hold the wine glass in her hand and all the osmanthus wine spilled out.

Amidst the laughter and cheers, her dull and continuous retching sounds were particularly harsh.

Everyone was attracted by her untimely voice and looked towards her.

The imperial concubine, who had been released from her confinement, looked at Su Wanti with disgust and said coldly, "What's wrong with you, Concubine Su? The food in the palace wasn't to your liking before, and now, the Empress's wine isn't to your liking either?"

"Fortunately, this is the Imperial Garden, far away from the Imperial Lake. You can't try to seduce the Emperor by jumping into the lake this time."

The imperial concubine's words played tricks on Su Wanti and also sowed discord between the queen and Su Wanti.

Su Wanti hurriedly touched her chest, her eyes red, and she looked like she was trying hard to hold back her emotions. She said in a hoarse voice:

"The sweet-scented osmanthus wine the Empress gifted me is sweet and rich, and I really like it. But today, for some reason, I feel extremely nauseous..."

After saying that, she couldn't help but turned her head and started to retch.

In the past ten years, no one in the palace had ever been pregnant, and the newcomers were all young girls with no experience at all, so no one in the palace connected Su Wanti's symptoms with pregnancy.
